510 DEEP-SEA FISHES OF THE ATLANTIC BASIN. 



Alepoccpholm cdeiititlHs, Alcock {loc. eit., 358, PI. xvm, ii,s,^ ii), was desciilxnl from a 

 siugle specimen, an inimatme male, nearly 3 inclies long, obtained by the In n'stiijator at 

 statiou 132, iu the Bay of Bengal, at a depth of 475 fathoms. 



For the second sectiou of the genus, including Aleiyocepludm Bdirdii, Jordan and 

 Evermaun propose the generic name MitchilUna.

 taken by the Albatross in .S.59 to Si'2 fathoms, in the Santa Barbara Channel, California.

Page 43 : ISatlnjtroctes mkrolepis, described by Gunther from the Atlantic, was reported 

 by Alcock from the Indian Ocean. It should be noted, however, that the specimen studied 

 by him was, as he himself says, "very badly mutilated and not une(iui vocally identitiable" 

 (Ann. and ]\Iag. Nat. Hist., December, 1889, 453).

Page 52 : Argentina sialis Gilbert, (Proc. U. S. N. M., 1890, p. 50) was obtained by the 

 Albatross at station 3077, coast of California, in 58 fathoms. 



After Argentina add: 



LEUROGLOSSUS, Gilbert. 

 Leuroglossufi, Gilbekt, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1890, xiii, 57. 



Yentrals nearly under middle of dorsal. Mandible with a few weak teeth or none. 

 Preuiaxillaries toothless. A row of stronger teeth on vomer and front of palatines. 

 Tongue toothless. Pyloric coeca 9. 



Appearance of Argentina, but the snout shorter, the maxillary reaching front of eye, 

 and the tongue toothless. 



This genus is represented by the single species, L. stilbius, of which two specimens 

 were obtained at Alhatross stations 2997 and 2998, ofl' Lower California, in 221 and 40 

 fathoms. 



Page 53: JS'ansenia is a generic name proposed by Jordan and Evermann for J/, groen- 

 landicum. 



Bathylagus paeificus, Gilbert. Two specimens were taken by the xillmtross off the 

 coast of Washington, at stations 3071 and 3074, in 085 and 877 fathoms (Proc. IJ. S. N. M., 

 XIII, 1890, 55). 



Page 58: liathysaurus fero.r. To the synonymy add: 

 Bathijaaurm ofttusiroshi's, Vaiixant, Exp. Sci. Trav. et Tal., i:'.6. 38(), PI. x, lig. 2, PI. xiv, fig. S. 



Page 59: Ilarpodon s<iuaniosus, Alcock, is fully described in the "Annals and Magazine 

 of Natural History," August, 1891, p. 128. 



Bathysaurus obtiisirostris, Yaillant (Exp. Sci. TravaiUeiir and Talisman), is supposed 

 by him to be closely allied to B. mollis described by (Jiinthcr, from the Pacific, basing his 

 opinion upon the presence of an adipose dorsal fin in B. mollis and its absence in B.ferox. 

 It is not inij)Ossible, however, that the supposed absence of this fin in the latter may be 

 due to the nmtilation of the few specimens m existence. 



Page 00: ChlorophtUalmus chalybcins. Examples of this species were obtained by the 

 Fish Ilaa-l- iu the following localities: Cat. No. 20092, U. S. N. M., from stations S7G, 877, 

 and 878, off Block Island, at a depth of 120 fathoms; Cat. No. 2S995, U. S. N. :Sl., from
